thanks for the reports
but it's this simple statement for me that stands out...the excitement of opportunity, & suddenly your workplace becomes enjoyable.

It was the down side of Ross Lyons closed door policy which saw only the establish team ousted by injury etc. He def liked a settled line up but the down side was that guys floundered in the VFL like they were in purgatory. Hardly the way to get the best out of your young ones.

Funny that you mention that. How was Wilkes going at the time or Simpkin. lets wait until he plays in the seniors before you get on your high horse. i guess we wont hear from you then. Strange post actually.
Yeah i found it strange.....that he didn't name the 2 losers.... :D


Six debutants for the Saints so far in Season 2024. :D

Terry Milera's family come from an Aboriginal community where we used to work, Koonibba. They have the oldest continuous indigenous football team in Australia. It is on the Eyre Peninsula. A lot of indigenous players come from Koonibba and surrounds. Graeme Johncock, the Burgoynes, Danyle Pearce (from Point Pearce), Harry Miller, Wanganeens, Eddie Betts, and others I cannot think of at the moment. They sure have a great football heritage.


Most people achieved their greatest success one step beyond what looked like their greatest failure.
